Live and loud in Kuwait City

TUE 04.03.14

As you can imagine, things are pretty hectic at our Milton Keynes base at the moment. Pre-season is done and dusted, we've got a job list as long as a Bahrain test day to get through and some serious prep work ahead of us before we hit the road again.

But it's not just the start of the F1 season that's got us burning the midnight oil. This month also sees our Live Demo programme kick into top gear, as our show car crew gets set for a full throttle date in Kuwait City.

We'll be touching down in the Gulf state for a massive day out on March 28, when, at 3pm, Red Bull Junior programme star Carlos Sainz Jr will put the double-title winning RB7 though its paces at a specially designed street course next to Kuwait Towers.

The 800-metre long track will give Carlos plenty of space to open up the throttle and it's likely that he'll hit speeds of approaching 250km/h on the course, which stretches from the Bneid El Gar signal light to the Kuwait Towers.

We won't be alone in making some noise in the city, however. As well as delivering a full programme of burnouts, donuts and hot laps, we'll also be bringing along four-time world champion motorcycle stunt legend Chris Pfeiffer who'll light up the track with some stunning new tricks.

In the run-up to the event the show car team will also drop into a number of locations across the city to fire up the car and bring someF1 power to the people.
